PinchMe is not entirely a scam as some people claim, as it does in fact send you free samples, but they do have a ton of issues. They make frequent changes to the site and how it operates. Most recent... See more

They block negative product reviews and only accept positive ones.

Among other things, like taking way more time and effort to not get anything in return. They only accept positive feedback for items. If you do get something, meaning a sample, not the good items they show, if you don't like it for a specific reason, like food ingredients, they will not accept negative feedbacks or reviews. When you click the submit feedback button after entering your feedback, nothing happens as a result, unlike if you enter positive feedback.

Don’t Waste Your Time 🛑

Was a past user & really enjoyed getting the samples, leaving the reviews, etc.

Time/life got away from me & I stopped using the site for a few years.

Just signed up 2 was ago. Did the surveys, earned some coins, was approved to get a couple samples - but learned I had to have 500+ coins to even ship my first sample!? 😳

Had an issue logging in this evening, submitted a support request informing them that I had requested a log in code, hadn’t received the code.

Their response?

“…When prompted to enter your 6 digit One Time Password (OTP), please click refer to where it says 'Haven't received this?' and click on 'Resend'.

You should then be emailed a new OTP. Please be sure to check your Inbox, Junk and Spam folders for this email.

If you have clicked 'Resend' multiple times to request a new OTP, please ensure that you are using the code from the most recent email you received.

Thank you.

PINCHme…”

My only response back was to ask them if they actually read my email and to delete my account.

Terrible.

Will not be signing up again.

It’s not even about the points.

It’s not even about the points.

Recently I’ve tried it, I signed up, cool I verified for a sample box. Whatever.
Not even days after I signed up, I kept getting awful phone and spam calls. One after the other, spam after spam and robo call after robo call…I keep getting woken up from my sleep with the amount of calls coming through. It’s awful.
Do NOT use PINCHme, cause you’re gonna have to pinch yourself after you realize how unbelievable this site is. Im deleting my account.

I recently signed up for PINCHme

I recently signed up for PINCHme, and I’ve had a pretty positive experience so far. It’s a free sample service that lets you try out products in exchange for honest reviews — no credit card required, which is a huge plus.

The sign-up process was straightforward, and after filling out a profile about my preferences and household info, I started getting sample boxes periodically. The variety of products is solid — I've received things like snacks, personal care items, and pet supplies. The packaging is nice, and everything has arrived in good condition.

The main catch is that you have to be quick on “Sample Tuesday” to claim items before they’re gone. Also, not every box has a ton of samples, but considering it’s completely free, I can’t really complain. As long as you’re consistent about leaving feedback, you’ll keep getting offers.

Overall, PINCHme is a fun way to try new products without spending money. It’s not going to replace shopping, but it’s a cool bonus if you like discovering new things.

I love all of the great opportunities…

I love all of the great opportunities to try products so I can know brands know what brands work for me. I love all the sample perfumes, body sprays, acrylic nails sets, the sample detergents, scented beads, fabric softeners, pet supplies and children needs.

Efficient Survey Workflow and Hassle-Free Sample Approval

I completed a series of targeted surveys today in under 10 minutes, and PinchMe’s platform guided me through each step with clear, concise questions - no fluff, no confusion. Within hours, I received approval to try a free eye-drop sample for promotional review, which speaks volumes about their streamlined backend and real-time notification system. PinchMe consistently updates its sample catalog, so keep an eye on your dashboard for fresh opportunities. While shipping times can vary by region, the overall turnaround - from survey completion to sample in hand - remains impressively tight. For best results, ensure your profile answers are complete and up to date.
